Hello everybody,
I come again with a problem which probably is a newbie one. I have started the tutorials described very nice in the manual and they seem to work well. Because I am interested in sliding mesh capabilities, I tried the mixer2D case, but when I tried to open it with FoamX I got the following error: Exec : FoamXCaseServer /home/dragos/OpenFOAM/dragos-1.2/run/tutorials/icoTopoFoam mixer2D -open Date : Oct 15 2005 Time : 20:02:14 Host : bobby PID : 4619 Root : /home/dragos/OpenFOAM/dragos-1.2/run/tutorials/icoTopoFoam Case : mixer2D Nprocs : 1 Caught FoamXError exception in FoamXCaseServer::main(int argc, char **argv) : FoamXError "getApplication::Invalid application class name 'icoTopoFoam'." In function "IPropertiesImpl" in file "IPropertiesImpl.C" at line 910 Finishing FoamXCaseServer::main(int argc, char **argv) Of course it works excelent from the command line, I already saw the results. If I try to generate a new case with icoTopoFoam as solver, there is no such option in the list with available solvers. What can be the problem? Thank you, Dragos |

Some solvers do not have a FoamX configuration file so I guess that is the case for icoTopoFoam.

Hi Mattijs,
Tanks for the quick response! I took a look in the OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.2/applications/solvers/incompressible and I saw a FoamX directory in each solver that appears in the GUI. There is no FoamX in icoTopoFoam so I suppose this is the missing configuration that you mention. But it looks like I have to compile again FoamX, right? Also, what should be included in FoamX configuration directory? Thank you, Dragos |

You dont need to recompile FoamX. For examples of what the setup files look like, try some other applications, e.g. icoFoam.
I use the solver without FoamX - have a look at the manual to see how its done. Enjoy, Hrv
